A truck driver and his assistant were pulling a sealed trailer containing a tonne of live birds sitting on perches.
Including the birds his whole vehicle weighed a little under 21 tonnes.
He arrives at a bridge which is marked 'Maximum Weight 20 tonnes'.
The driver thinks for a moment and then asks his assistant to take an iron bar and bang on the cab sides to scare the birds off their perches. with the birds in flight inside the trailer a tonne of weight is lifted from the perches and the driver rolls forward to cross the bridge.
Clever?
Now here's the question...would you be happy to ride across with that driver or not, and why?

Ok this is another oldy:

Imagine you're a lift man.
The lift descends to the ground floor and one man gets in.
The lift ascends to the second floor and two men get out.
The lift then goes to the tenth floor and two men get out and three women get in.
The lift goes to the eleventh floor and a man gets out.
The lift then returns to the ground floor and three women get out.
What's the lift mans name?

Mind muddler:

A Hunter spotted a Bear Twenty Meters due South of him.
He raised his rifle and pointed it due South straight at the Bear
The Bear however was spooked and ran a hundred meters due East.
The Hunter again pointed his gun due South and fired and killed the Bear, with a single straight shot.

What colour was the Bear?

This is of course a logic puzzle and has a real answer, which I'll blog if no-one posts the answer or it's driven u mad.
